Crawford County.

We clip the following Grayling cor
respondence in regard to our lumber
traffic, from the Detroit Tribune:
LAUNDERING was more active in 1856,
in Crawford county than ever before,
and the prospects are that the output
for 1887 will greatly exceed anything
that has yet been done. The total cut
of lumber reached nearly 1000 900
feet, and of shingles about 1000, 600.
The principal shipments were by rail
to the Michigan Central, and tn points
in Ohio and Illinois.
About one half of the total cut was
Norway plank and bill stuff, the bal
ance white pine The best pine is in
the Northern part of the county,
which also contains large amount of
excellent hardwood timber that has
scarcely been touched The central
and southern parts of the county are
mainly tilnbered with Norway, mixed
with white pine. Frederic, eight miles
north, supplies this place with hard
wood, doing good business in this
line.
Sailing, Hanson & Co. added shin
gle mill to their outfit last year, and
made good start in this direction.
They are about to put new engine in
their saw-inill and will increase the en-
CINE capacity of their single and plan
inu mills
During the year they supplied their
lumber yard with an excellent system
of water-works, furnishing n new en-
CINE for this purpose.
The total cut for 1856 in Crawford
county was as follows:
LUMBER.
Sailing. Hanson & Co, 1905, 1926 #.
John White, 1000, 900 "
ON HAND.
Sailing, Hanson g. Co., 5000, 600 #.
SHINGLES.
Sailing, Hanson g. Co. cut $3.50, 600.
On hand, 400, 900.
Sailing, Hanson & Co. shipped L.
900, 600 feet of their choicest cork pine
logs to Bay City and put 5, 234, 900 feet
of logs into Portage Lake for the Man
istee salt and lumber company; also g.
900, 600 feet into the Manistee river for
the same company, besides 10, 500, 900
feet of their own logs into the AuSa-
BILE and Manistee rivers.
They will probably cut Is, 0Oo, 0C0 #.
of lun Der and 5 GOO, 900 shingles here
and 5000, 600 feet of lumber at Bay
City during the coming year.
The following is an estimate of the
logging business done by other firms in
Crawford county during 1856;
Blodgett & Byrne, 25.OO0, 600 feet.
Manistee Lumber Co., 5000 900 "
Pack, Woods g. Co., 5000, 900 "
James Morn, $500, 900 "
Oscoda salt&lumber Co. 5, 500, 600 4"
Hollenbeck & Cross are getting out
a large quantity of pine three miles
north which goes to Standish, Bay
City and Saginaw, by rail.
Pack, Woods & Co. of Oscoda, will
make Grayling their headquarters next
fall for this section.
During the past year Blodgett &
Byrne transferred their headquarters
from Roscommon to Grayling.

GRAYLIEo, MICH. Mar. 30, 81.
EDITOR AvALAEcHE;--The advice
of an unfortunate man whom histor,
tells us long ago was suddenly pushed
to one side by an animal with loni
ears, was not to mind such things bui
consider their source. This advice
might apply in our case. but however
we are inclined to briefly photograph
the writer of tho article which appear
ed in the columns Of your valuable pa
per of Jan. 8, 81. over the signatur.
of Duane Wiilett. Perhaps he dcsires
to take to himself all the calumny
which such an article Is sure 20 heap up
on its benighted parents. But we are
inclined to believe that one who was
long ago smitten for his many sins
and who still moves only by artificial
means, and whose brain moves in the
same crippled manner, would feel
sighted were he not given his full
share of credit to the parentage of
that illegitiinate offspring. That the
people of Crawford county should
finally tire of paying tor the criminal
carelessness of the officials of Frederic
township, can only be wondered at
by such crippled intellects as gave
birth to the article in question. No
one but the Supreme being knows, or
ever can know how much was due TO
the township of Frederic, and common
CONGO telle even thorH0se 1~n;ent~S
that before a supposed criminal can be-
convicted, the plaintiffs must be able
to prove that he has committed some
being like he who assessed the e J OF
the Z J of Sec. 8, in town %, N r 4
west, at four dollars per acre as hard
wood land. and who prides himself on
knowing every pine tree in Crawford
county, make a timely move towards
protecting those interests, which he so
foully betrayed when he assessed eight
thousand dollars worth of David
Wards pine, in whose employ he
doubtless was, when he assessed the
said pine at six hundred an forty dol
lars. Oh! consistency, thou art a few
ell, is indeed fitting exclamation when
a deserving public looks at the true in
wardness of the parentage of the foul
article in question. Why did not the
self-esteemed, over-wise being, who
moves only under the penalty of his
sins. take from the possession of the
alleged criminal in legal manner
what would have been properly deliv-
cred in due time? Could he no longer
control his avaricious desires TO han
die the peoples money! Does any one
think for a moment that a court of
Justice would not seriously question
such transaction2 AS TO the pr oceed-
ings being quashed, a reference to the
files of the court at any time will prove
that they were. Common sense tells
all intelligent minds that no action
could be maintained to move on the
bonds; and farther, justice says, if any
one should suffer, it should be the Off
cials of Frederic township, and not the
innocent tax payer or Dondsman. Let
the patriotic parents of that illegiti-
mate offspring clear the skirts of their
own besmeared garments before they
attack the integrity of their peers.

1t is a matter of profound regret
that wiser counsels did not prevail
among the third-party prohibitionists
of Michigan, and the withdrawal of
their ticket become an accomplished
fact. Tie non-partisan nature of the
work in favor of the prohibition
amendment would thus have been
clearly shown, and it would have
doubtless received more votes than
will now be cast for it on April A. The
third-party men are hurting the amend.
ment instead of helping it. The peo-
pie see that they are trying first to
make political capital, and then to
work for the anendment.--B Blade.
